"The Long Sleep" is the first single taken from Arcana Collective's upcoming album "Atlas Lost | Act I: The Long Sleep", due for release on February 1st, 2023 via Wormholedeath.
The Long Sleep:
It's the beginning of a new space age. Damian, having successfully broken out of Earth's littered orbit, is now preparing for the first leg of his journey into the vast universe. This entails being put into a deep sleep for the long journey ahead while his AI companion, Nova, takes the reigns. His feelings are conflicted as he prepares for his slumber, yearning to hold his daughter, Cassidy, again, yet holding too many painful memories on Earth. Meanwhile, Cass dreams of following him one day.
This song is inspired heavily by my musical upbringing in classical and flamenco styles, utilizing a lot of jarring chords, long harmonic sequences, and a strong rhythmic base to propel the piece forward. Leo Brower and Villa-Lobos come to mind. I focused on a sleepy, slow build to represent the coming rest, and wanted the chorus to be a clear division of the piece, each half showcasing the differing perspectives of the two characters.
